## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Improv = Works of Art.  Excellent book!
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017*

I really enjoy Cindy's approach to improvisational quilting. She has a helpful and encouraging tone throughout the book.  The book leads you through fundamental principles of design and color as well as addresses practical logistics of organization and a design wall.  She discusses color principles and provides guiding questions as you make color choices while not being overly prescriptive and includes a "anything goes" color option. Much freedom to choose how you want to express yourself. With everything she discusses, she provides great examples of her principles by showing her own quilts.  The Kindle version is just fine but if I had to do it again, I'd spring for the paperback version.  I find myself scrolling to next page to see the quilt and then skipping back to re-read what she wrote. I think having the physical book in my quilting area would help me use it more as a reference particularly the "Questions to Ask" that she recommends when you're evaluating your improv design work.  You can get a good sense of the writing style in the "Look Inside" feature. The book isn't full of artistic fluff - I can read it quickly and get the points I need.  I love that.  Also if you want to get a sense of Cindy's improv style, she's on Instagram as @cindygrisdelaquilts.  I find this helps me decide if I find an artist's overall aesthetic to be appealing to me. Cindy's use of color drew me in immediately.  Highly recommend!

    Easy to follow ideas
  

*by P***M on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2023*

This book helped me transition from the traditional designs to rethinking my intentions. I prefer to make bed sized quilts, but there are great instructions on how to make ones that hand on the wall!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Perfect for a starter Improv Quilter
  

*by T***W on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024*

I took Cindy's class at Quilt Fest in Hampton, and learned a lot. I wanted to continue with the techniques I'd learn so I purchased her books.I needed this book as it has the color recipes in it so you'll know which colors to bump up against each other, and add contrast for a flicker of flare and even a conversation or two about your techniques used.I recommend this book for anyone that needs help with color and building your quilt blocks.
